From both the FAQ and QandA:
  Can Pine be used with a POP server?
  
  As of version 3.95, PC-Pine cannot be used with a POP (Post Office
  Protocol) server. Pine for Unix can be configured to access the
  message INBOX on a POP3 server using the folder definition syntax
           
  {pop3server/pop3}INBOX where pop3server is the hostname of the POP3
  server. 
  
  However, this method accesses the POP server in quasi-online mode, not in
  offline mode, which POP was designed for. Accessing the inbox on a POP3
  server with Pine does not preserve changes to message flags (New,
  Answered, Deleted, etc.) between sessions.

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"
